I haven't tried one, but the laminate trimmer motor may also work well with
a light/med duty versions of Minarik or KB DC controllers, which would
likely provide better speed regulation (depending upon model and features),
if they're compatible.

Just tried both, the Variac turns down slower but there isn't much
difference in the low-speed torque (or lack of it).
I used a lamp dimmer, not a router control.
